Maiden of Destiny Chapter 9
Lei-Fang walked into her brother's lab. She wore a forest green gown with gold flower designs on it. At the center part of the top of the sleeveless green gown came two gold straps that attached all the way to the hip on her backside making her back almost bare. She looked around. Her brother was now where in sight. She hesitated but walked further. "Have you seen my disc lately? It is gray with gold metal." Stated an icy voice. Lei- Fang felt a shiver go up her spine. "N-No." she whispered. Gero looked unemotional. "You know, I did the liberty of having Nolan clear your things out of Bulma's house." Gero said changing into an insane smile. Lei-Fang panicked! Did he find the disc she gave to Bulma! "I found the most.intriguing possession which I find quiet.. useful." Gero said. Realization hit Lei-Fang! The Celestial Dragon Balls! "W-What are you talking about?" Lei-Fang said trying to sound calm. Gero's smile widened into a grin. Gero's grin fell into a thoughtful frown. "W-What is it?" Lei- Fang asked. "Nothing." Her brother replied coolly. "It is time for lunch." He stated walking out. Lei-Fang gasped as she spilled her glass of wine onto her self. It dripped from her nose to her chest. A maid rushed over and cleaned up Lei- Fang a little bit. "You better go change milady. I'll have some of the other maids start to washing it immediately." The maid said and Lei-Fang nodded.
Trunks walked into Lei-Fang's room. She turned around and smiled. She held another elegant gown in her hand. Trunks smirked at the gown she wore. "Spill something?" he asked pressing his warm cheek against her soft back and wrapping his arms around her. Lei-Fang let out a small gasp and blushed. "Trunks not here!" she scolded as he kissed a trail down her back. He moved his up to burry in her hair and breathed in her fresh rosy scent. "So, I will wait for you around four today." Lei-Fang said and felt Trunks nod. Lei-Fang blissfully leaned back in his arms and sighed dreamily.
Lei-Fang knocked on the door. "Miss Saura?" she whispered. "Come in." came a soft and weak voice. Saura turned and gasped. Lei-Fang wasn't standing there.someone else was. "What's a matter? Has your faith in me wavered already?" asked the voice rather coldly. Saura felt bitter at his reference to when they were young and she was being taught by Tien and Choatzu to ice skate but she kept falling. They scolded her and told her to have faith. Well she did! And this is what the result was! "I can't see you if you keep standing there in the shadows, Tien." She said warmly. Tien made no move. "Will you not let me see?! I had not a chance earlier to see how much you've matured! You rob me of it now?!" she sobbed. "Don't cry." Tien said softly and Saura stopped and looked at him taking her hands away from her swollen eyes. There was a silence. "I can see how you've grown. So beautiful and soft." He whispered. Saura felt her heart leap. "But still weak and fragile! I pity you." He said coldly making her heart sink again. "Why are you here?! Did you come to torment me?!" she screamed turning away. "I came to find out why!" he yelled back. "Why what?" she asked bitterly. "Why you left! Why you are growing so weak! Why you let yourself grow weak!" Tien shouted angrily. Saura turned around and stared at Tien tears gleaming from the light and pouring down her cheeks. "I was always there for you1 I was always proud of you1 I was always so worried I failed you. Your eyes always held me with contempt as if I was always doing something wrong and failing you. What I did was never good enough!" she screamed. Tien felt his body freeze. Saura regained composure and began to grasp for air as her tears continued. "But when you left Master Tsurusennin and won the tournament I saw you had changed. You fought for yourself!" Saura said smiling sadly. A smile that made Tien want to reach out to her. But his pride got in the way as usual! "Why are you weak or even better, why do you let yourself grow weak? Have I taught you nothing?!" Tien scolded. But Saura continued to smile at him. "You see. I realized in that moment that I had no hand in what happened to you and that if anything I was in the way! I left to stay with my aunt. She was very rich. I began to take a liking to science and as I advanced through college, I made it to becoming a lab assistant. I made my way to the top but from the beginning, I had known many other scientists.there was one who was named Dr. Gero. He was also very rich and my aunt took an immediate liking to him. He told her he was to be taking over his father's company soon. He had always had an interest.. in me." Saura explained softly. Tien's eyes narrowed. "So your aunt arranged a marriage between the two of you. But why would you go along with it?!" Tien asked roughly. "My aunt threatened to disown me when I told her how I felt! Gero's eyes held lust for me always but I was something more.something like the perfect guinea pig. His stare has always scared me. But I had no choice. I would be homeless and helpless if she disowned me!" Saura said, her tears increasing. "So why are you so.. frail?" Tien asked softly. Saura looked down. "I-I c-cannot tell you.." She whispered. Tien walked forward and looked at her. Saura felt his hand forcefully across her cheek. Saura stood there shocked. Her hand reached up to her cheek touching the red and bruised spot on her cheek where he had slapped her. "Why are you so weak! Tell me?! I never taught you to be this weak Saura!" Tien said. Saura looked up at him. "You expect me to open up to you! I will not! I cannot trust you, Tien!" Saura said coldly. Tien felt his heart tear. She didn't.. trust him.. "You're right, I am weak." She whispered softly. Just then, a knock came to Saura's door.
Lei-Fang came down into the lab. Her brother had summoned her. Lei-Fang walked up to her brother's chair where he usually sat and worked all day. She gasped and as if sensing them she turned and opened her brother's desk drawer and caught a glimpse of something shining brightly. The Celestial Dragon Balls! Her heart jumped happily. "You came." Lei-Fang gasped quickly jamming the drawer shut and turned to see her brother. "Y-Yes, you asked me to come." She said. Gero walked up to her. "You know I was planning on having you marry Ken tomorrow. You would give birth to children and I would experiment on them. Think of it! The combination between a special android and a human! But I have a better idea. Why don't we make android and Saiyan!" Gero said. Lei-Fang gasped. He knew about her and Trunks! "How? Cameras?!" she asked panicking. "No, try the blood stain on your lips this morning." Gero answered. "But you never got a sample of- t-the napkin from my spilled wine!" Lei-Fang said feeling a dark and helpless feeling come over her. It was over. Suddenly the door opened and there stood Saura followed by Tien. Lei-Fang sensed an evil feeling come over her brother. He knew about Saura and Tien, one way or another. He killing her softly and tearing Tien up slowly. That is what he was going to do. Saura was led over to a lab table and sat on it gently. "Why are you here?" Lei-Fang asked Tien. "I have my reasons. I said I always wanted to see a lab so the maid let me come along." Tien replied whispering. Lei-Fang watched intently as Gero filled a shot with some green liquid. The same shot Lei-Fang had been receiving daily recently. Gero practically jammed the shot into Saura's arm making her wince. She gasped and her body paled like a ghost. Suddenly she began to shake violently. Realization hit everyone that she was having a seizure. Tien and Lei-Fang ran forward. Saura fell to the floor and Gero merely looked at her. Saura's seizure grew worse at his eyes being on her mercilessly. Tien ran and picked Saura up. Lei-Fang looked at the serene picture before her. Tien on his knees cradling Saura's tensed body. Slowly Saura's seizure stopped. She shivered now in Tien's arms. Tien looked down at Saura. She was like an angel.. his angel. Suddenly he felt her body removed from his arms. Gero set up Saura's body and she sat up weakly. He held her to him while he rubbed his hands down her back and slender hips lustfully. Tien's blood boiled but inside his smirk widened. 'I'm going to kill you Gero. And I will enjoy doing it. Saura WILL be mine and away from any harm you have done to her. She'll sleep without nightmares for once.' Tien thought as he watched Saura's body tense in fear. Gero didn't seem to notice Tien gently put his hand over Saura's hand. Gero suddenly pushed Saura away. "Now you may leave. I will see you same time tomorrow for another shot. Let us hope you react better next time." Gero said. It seemed like he was punishing Saura for her weakness and sudden moment of pain. "Yes, love." Saura whispered. Gero looked at her expectantly and Saura walked up to him kissing him and he more than deepened it (is it me or is that just wrong1 I mean the guy's OLD!) and slowly slipped his tongue into her mouth, which appeared obvious to Tien. Saura's body froze with fear. Tien saw her look of pure pain and torture. He ran forward about to pull her away when suddenly Gero parted. Saura felt her body numb. Gero stole a glance at Tien. Tien's eyes screamed hatred and murder for the man. Gero's smirk only confirmed Tien's challenge.
Saura left the lab followed by Tien. Lei-Fang turned to leave. "Where do you think you're going?" Gero asked coldly. Lei-Fang turned to her brother fearfully. "You see there is one problem I have missed. I don't have nine months to wait for my perfect experiment! In fact, I neglected one thing. It is tomorrow." Gero said grinning cynically. "W-What's tomorrow?" Lei- Fang asked her voice suddenly weakened by fear.
Tien walked into Saura's room. The moment the door shut Tien locked it and quickly walked up Behind Saura and swept her off her feet. He laid her down on her bed and quickly took off his shoes. "W-What are you doing, Tien?" Saura asked nervously. He leaned forward quickly and roughly kissed her. Saura gasped. She felt confused, thrilled, hurt, and angry all at once. "She pushed him away. "I am weak! You said it so yourself! What do you want from me! Does it kill you that I have a husband and that I don't belong to you anymore! It kills you that you don't have me. You want me and when you get me you'll throw me away!" Saura shouted sobbing. Tien was hit with reality. It was his pride that made him want her. And he was being selfish. He just wanted Gero out of her life for his own good. Tien got up from Saura's bed and walked out leaving Saura dazed and confused.
Bulma looked down at everyone who sat before her. "Thanks for coming guys. Lei-Fang went through a lot to get me this disc but it might have been better that she view it before handing it to me." Bulma said. Everyone even Choatzu, Gohan, and Roshi were present. "As you know Lei-Fang is an android. Her brother murdered her father and took over Gero Corp. in support for the Red Ribbon Army. Lei-Fang was a witness and for punishment he turned her into an android so in fact she was once human." Bulma explained. "But the question has been around us I'm sure. What is her purpose as an android? She doesn't fight or fly like the others and seems to have no desire to." Bulma said. Everyone was silent. "About 15000 B.C. an old philosopher recorded seeing nine shooting stars come down from the sky. The nine stars landed in what is today known as Japan, North and South America, Australia, Europe, Asia, Russia, Antarctica, and Africa. In Iwanai, Japan some villagers discovered a golden round object that had one dragon shaped figure on it." Bulma explained (I am not sure if I am being historically correct here so just go along with me). "Dragon Balls?" Yamcha asked. Bulma nodded. "But the Dragon Balls have star shaped figures on them not Dragon shaped." argued Krillin. "If you'd let me finish my explanation then you will understand!" Bulma yelled and Krillin shut his mouth. "In Pampa, Texas an elderly couple discovered the same kind of object except it had two dragons. Again, in Aveiro, Brazil a young farmer discovered the four ball. In Tambo, Australia, some architects discovered the seven ball. Yet again, in Edinburgh, Scotland a Scottish soldier found the three ball. And in Xi'an, China a Chinese tradesman (A.N.-I think that's what they are called. Someone who trades with travelers and other stuff like that, not a traitor like a person who betrayed someone!)." Bulma told them and stopped to take a breath. "In Mordovo, Russia some children discovered the eight ball. During an expedition to Antarctica, some explorers found the nine ball. Finally, in El Faiyum, Egypt a young woman found the five ball. All these balls were indeed Dragon Balls." Bulma explained. "But how?!" Krillin said repeating his question. "These Dragon Balls are called the Celestial Dragon Balls. They are the original Dragon balls." Bulma answered. Everyone gasped (*gasp* I didn't see it coming! 0o0 Again, I am not sure I am historically correct for what I am about to say because the series at least so far hasn't said how the dragon balls were created. So, I am most likely wrong but just work with me here!). "These balls were discovered by different people throughout time. The balls are truly powerful and dangerous.' Bulma said. "But how did the other Dragon Balls get here?" asked Trunks. "A long time ago in medieval times I believe there was a war. A battle between power and truth. A young man managed to get a hold of the Celestial Dragons balls, all of them. They power was limitless and can grant up to five wishes. In fear and hope, some sages of Japan came together. With all their might, they cursed the Celestial Dragon Balls. The curse made the balls active only on a total solar eclipse. But they still needed another Dragon who could grant a wish to stop the insane man who had the Celestial Dragon Balls. They could not defeat the dragon of the Celestial dragon balls so they had to do the next best thing. They created seven golden balls with different numbers of star shaped figures on them. They created a new dragon and in doing so gave up their lives. With their dying breath, they wished the dragon to kill the insane man before he caused more terror. The dragon did so and the balls separated across the Earth. Unlike the Dragon Balls the sages had used though the Celestial Dragon Balls did not appear as pebbles for a year in fact after being used they could be reused and they had no time limit to which they needed to recover from the last wishes made. This posed a problem so the emperor in Japan performed a ceremonial dance during the Total Solar eclipse making the balls fly into the sun to be sealed away." Bulma explained. "Then how did they get back down here?" asked Vegeta hottily. "On the last Total Solar Eclipse was the day of Gero's father's murder. Lei-Fang had somehow found one of the Celestial Dragon Balls. The seal of the sun was in another war between two alien races. The balls escaped as shooting stars once again I guess. Lei-Fang's brother was not planning to turn her into an android. He wanted to kill her but just as the knife made contact with her heart, she screamed out and the other balls came to her. They fused with her body making a tight bond with her. Gero was left utterly shocked and intrigued by the incident. He had Lei-Fang's life sustained momentarily and had a nurse take care of her wound. He did his research and somehow found out what had fused with her. He would let her live but she still had witnessed her father's death and his attack to take her life so he needed to shut her up somehow. So, he turned her into an android. But the balls kept her alive and ordinary. She still grew older and could do many things that humans did. Gero arranged for her kidnapping to be staged as another way to keep Lei-Fang quiet. When Gero was throwing away his failed androids he shut down Lei-Fang body. She must have awoken recently responding to the closing of the next Total Solar Eclipse." Bulma explained. "When is the next Total Solar Eclipse?" Krillin asked. "Tomorrow." Bulma answered quickly. "What? Why didn't we know this?!" Yamcha demanded. "It's not my fault you don't watch the news! Seeing as you guys are such couch potatoes. Maybe its those women's exercise videos you guys spend your time watching too much." Bulma retorted making a blush come to Roshi's, Yamcha's, Krillin's, and Oolong's face. Trunks eyes suddenly widened in shock. "Does Gero know about the Total Solar Eclipse being tomorrow?!" he asked fear and panic consuming him. "Most likely." Bulma replied. "Oh no! Lei-Fang! I have to go tell her!" Trunks said rushing out the door. "We'd better go after him." Yamcha suggested and everyone nodded.
Lei-Fang felt shock and fear freeze her body. "You would have known everything I just told you if you had looked at the disc before giving it to Bulma! Then you could have runaway and saved yourself!" Gero said smirking. Lei-Fang heard the door close and lock. She turned quickly to see Naomi. "N-Naomi1 What are you doing here?!" she asked in surprise.
Lei-Fang walked into her brother's lab. She wore a forest green gown with gold flower designs on it. At the center part of the top of the sleeveless green gown came two gold straps that attached all the way to the hip on her backside making her back almost bare. She looked around. Her brother was now where in sight. She hesitated but walked further. "Have you seen my disc lately? It is gray with gold metal." Stated an icy voice. Lei- Fang felt a shiver go up her spine. "N-No." she whispered. Gero looked unemotional. "You know, I did the liberty of having Nolan clear your things out of Bulma's house." Gero said changing into an insane smile. Lei-Fang panicked! Did he find the disc she gave to Bulma! "I found the most.intriguing possession which I find quiet.. useful." Gero said. Realization hit Lei-Fang! The Celestial Dragon Balls! "W-What are you talking about?" Lei-Fang said trying to sound calm. Gero's smile widened into a grin. Gero's grin fell into a thoughtful frown. "W-What is it?" Lei- Fang asked. "Nothing." Her brother replied coolly. "It is time for lunch." He stated walking out. Lei-Fang gasped as she spilled her glass of wine onto her self. It dripped from her nose to her chest. A maid rushed over and cleaned up Lei- Fang a little bit. "You better go change milady. I'll have some of the other maids start to washing it immediately." The maid said and Lei-Fang nodded.
Trunks walked into Lei-Fang's room. She turned around and smiled. She held another elegant gown in her hand. Trunks smirked at the gown she wore. "Spill something?" he asked pressing his warm cheek against her soft back and wrapping his arms around her. Lei-Fang let out a small gasp and blushed.

But the balls kept her alive and ordinary. She still grew older and could do many things that humans did. Gero arranged for her kidnapping to be staged as another way to keep Lei-Fang quiet. When Gero was throwing away his failed androids he shut down Lei-Fang body. She must have awoken recently responding to the closing of the next Total Solar Eclipse." Bulma explained. "When is the next Total Solar Eclipse?" Krillin asked. "Tomorrow." Bulma answered quickly. "What? Why didn't we know this?!" Yamcha demanded. "It's not my fault you don't watch the news! Seeing as you guys are such couch potatoes. Maybe its those women's exercise videos you guys spend your time watching too much." Bulma retorted making a blush come to Roshi's, Yamcha's, Krillin's, and Oolong's face. Trunks eyes suddenly widened in shock. "Does Gero know about the Total Solar Eclipse being tomorrow?!" he asked fear and panic consuming him. "Most likely." Bulma replied. "Oh no! Lei-Fang! I have to go tell her!" Trunks said rushing out the door. "We'd better go after him." Yamcha suggested and everyone nodded.
Lei-Fang felt shock and fear freeze her body. "You would have known everything I just told you if you had looked at the disc before giving it to Bulma! Then you could have runaway and saved yourself!" Gero said smirking. Lei-Fang heard the door close and lock. She turned quickly to see Naomi. "N-Naomi1 What are you doing here?!" she asked in surprise.
