A New Ally: Nanake!!!

Gohan dashed through the tall grass as the saber tooth tiger stormed after him.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Catch me if you can!" He chirped happily. Gohan had adjusted to living in a wild just perfectly. He loved it except for being homesick. They both ran on for awhile until they both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw something streak across the sky.

"Whoa! What was THAT?!" Gohan looked up at the sky in awe.

Piccolo flinched and opened his eyes.

("They can't be here yet! It's only been a month and Raditz said a year!") He thought to himself. He flew to where he felt the energy coming from and saw, at the bottom of a crater, a small round spaceship.

"Whoa! That's a Saiyan spaceship!"



Cautiously, Piccolo floated down to the space pod and peeked through the teal window into it. Inside, he saw an unconscious nude woman. He saw a tail and, not knowing how to open the stupid thing, he ripped the door off to take a closer look. Her black hair was quite long and she wore completely nothing except a scouter over her left eye. ("She looks like she's spent her entire life in this pod...") he thought, ("Either that or she's just real... disgusting...")

After sensing that her power level was low, he flew above the crater, located a pond, moved some water with his mind and made it float back down to the crater and splash the woman in the face. He landed in front of the gasping, surprised creature and crossed his arms. She tumbled out of the pod, coughing and wheezing. Piccolo stared coldly down at her. She looked up at him frightened and mouthed a word before she could even speak it... as if she hadn't spoken in a long, long while.

"Spit it out, Saiyan." Piccolo shouted. She flinched at the hard tone in his voice and slowly gathered up the courage to speak.

"E-excuse me... who are you?"

"I should be asking you the same thing."

"I am... I am..." She paused, trailing off, "I am..."

"Don't you have a name?" he snapped.

"I... I don't know..."

"You don't KNOW?!"

"I... uh... no..." she flustered, blushing, and almost broke into tears when she heard a beeping and a feminine robotic voice coming from the pod.

"MISSION LOG... MISSION LOG... MISSION LOG... MI-"

Nanake scrambled back into her pod and pushed the button that was blinking.

"HELLO NANAKE. DID YOU SLEEP WELL?" The robotic voice chirped.

"C-computer...? Was it your voice talking to me all this time... I-I-I only remember total blackness and a voice talking to me... it sounded like you..."

"YOU'VE BEEN ASLEEP, NANAKE."

What... What is Nanake?"

"YOU ARE, NANAKE."

"My name... I have a name..." She smiled a bit, and then quickly asked, "Computer, who am I? Where did I come from? What happened? Do I have a family? How did I-"

"YOU ARE A SAIYAN. YOU WERE SENT OUT AS A BABY TO DESTROY THE PLANET ZIMPER."

"Zimper?" Piccolo raised and eyebrow.

"ON THE ROUTE TO ZIMPER, THIS POD COLLIDED WITH SEVERAL METEORS AND WE WERE THROWN OFF COURSE."

"So I've just been drifting around in space since I was a baby?" she asked?

"YES." The computer chirped, "FOR TWENTY-THREE YEARS. NANAKE, ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLORE NOW? IF YOU ARE, PLEASE DON'T FORGET YOUR SCOUTER."

Nanake touched the scouter on her face and murmured,

"My scouter... this is a scouter?"

"Come on." Piccolo grunted, "Lets get you some food and clothes."

He picked the nude Saiyan up in his arms and carried her away through the skies. Soon, they were hovering above Chichi's house. Piccolo dropped her and flew away without saying a word.

Nanake landed flat on her back and cringed, "Owwww... that jerk, that hurts!" Chichi, having heard the loud thud outside, opened the door and started freaking out.



Inside, Nanake had been sent upstairs to take a nice long, relaxing bubble bath while Chichi cooked her a meal and searched through her wardrobe to find something that fit her.

("So... I'm a Saiyan... but where do I come from? Who am I? I mean I know my name and race... and where I've been my whole life and why... but what about my family? Did I ever even have one?")



Soon, Nanake came downstairs in one of Chichi's pink robes.

"Awww... You look so pretty! Pink is definitely your color! Now, we only have to worry about your hair! You eat your soup, while I go and find some hair supplies."

Nanake sat and conversed with the cheerful Ox King while she ate her soup. Soon Chichi came back down and began to brush and cut her hair. After Chichi was finished, she looked very beautiful... and in a way... looked a little like Chichi... Chichi looked proudly upon her work. Nanake's jet-black hair was up in two buns, one of each side of her head, and she had a thick strand in front of each ear, and bangs just above her brow.

"There! All you needed was a woman's touch!"



Deep in the night, after destroying the moon, Piccolo hovered above Nanake's window and smirked.

"Time to enroll you into boot camp. Come take your turn."He appeared in her room and stole the beautiful sleeping Saiyan from her bed and flew out the window. Nanake awoke with a start from the chill of the night air.

"What?! Where are you taking me?!" She shrieked.

"Pipe down! You're going to get some training in before the Saiyans arrive here on earth!"

"Saiyans? Coming here? I'm going to fight them?"

"EVIL Saiyans. We might need your help. You're first part of the training is to just live."

He dropped her in a desolate forest and continued,

"If you can survive out her alone until I come back, then you can train with me."

"B-but when are you coming back?"

Piccolo grinned, showing his teeth,

"You'll see." And with that, he blasted off into the skies.

"WAIT!" She shrieked, "COME BACK!"

She stood, completely alone and finally collapsed into tears.

And so... we meet the last surviving female of the Saiyan race... Nanake. But will three low-level Saiyans be enough for the two elites coming to Earth? Find out on DRAGON BALL Z!!!!!
