Konnichiwa or whatever. I've finally updated and added a new chapter. I
could have divided it into 2 chapters but I thought it would sort of mess
up the flow of the chapter. Well, sorry about the extremely long delay.
Okay, this chapter really sucks, I've had like 10 million projects due and
wrote this in between. Exams start January 21 so I hope I can write some
more then.
Chapter 2: Return from Yardrat; You go girl!
Bra's face turned pale when Tien spoke those words. She felt everyone's eyes on her and her pulse began to quicken. She quickly recovered and flashed one of her father's deadly smirks, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Tien, right? I actually am unable to answer to that question," she said with a reluctant step closer to the group. "I came to speak with Kakarrot errr…Goku. I am only able to answer his questions."
"How do you know my father?" asked Gohan.
"I don't know him per say," Bra answered with a thoughtful look on her face. "You could say I'm more of an admirer."
Vegeta growled and grabbed Bra by her arm. She looked down at his hand then back up at his face. "Do you have a problem Veggi-chan?" she said with a smile.
His face twisted from a glare to a look of anger.
"How dare you call me that!" Vegeta was fuming. All the other Z fighters looked at Bra like she had a death wish but Bulma was cracking up.
"Veggi-chan?! Ha, ha, ha! That's a good one. Girl, I like you already! Do you have a name we could call you?" Bulma laughed.
Bra's smirk grew. "I am Spartacus."
Bulma blinked then started laughing again. "Spartacus, good choice. Mmmph, Veggie-chan! Ha, ha, ha!"
Vegeta was even angrier now. He let go of Bra's arm and glared at Bulma. "Woman! How dare you ridicule me like that! I am the Prince of all Saiyans! The mightiest race in the galaxy!"
"Some kingdom, Vegeta!" Bulma retorted. "The only saiyans left are you, Goku, Gohan and that girl over there. Oh, the mighty Prince Vegeta."
"Shut up you ugly bitch!"
"Ugly?! Who are you calling ugly bastard?!"
*Everyone sweatdropped.*
"Oh boy, this could take a while…" Bra mumbled under her breath. "Alright everyone! If you would like to greet Goku when he returns, I suggest you come with me. He'll be landing in about two hours. Any questions?"
"How do you know that? Where and when he's landing I mean," asked Piccolo skeptically. He still was having trouble trusting her.
Bra smiled and answered thoughtfully. "Well, I've been monitoring his spacecraft and have extrapolated a probable trajectory and landing site. Unless he dramatically changes course, my calculations should be fairly accurate. I've accounted for friction during re-entry, atmospheric conditions, the gravitational force of the spinning Earth, the absence of the moon…."
"That's enough information, thank you!" Krillin interrupted.
Bulma stepped away from a growling Vegeta and walked over to Bra. Vegeta glared at Bra before turning his back.
"How were you able to monitor his progress? You didn't you use Capsule Corps. Model 12 tracker did you?" Bulma asked eagerly.
Bra smiled and shifted her stance. "No actually, but something similar. It's the Model 19. It can track spaceships within close proximity (usually 2 light years), locate ki signatures, interface with any computer, connect with any satellites and serve as a communicator. Basically, everything an advanced scouter could do except it's way more advanced, faster and half the size."
"How? Model 12 is our most advanced model. Where did you get it? It is soooo cool. Can I see it?" Bulma asked with puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'd like to answer all your questions but the inventor of this little gizmo strictly informed me never to let anyone fool around with it. Especially a genius like you Ms.Briefs."
Bulma looked disappointment. "I guess that's reasonable. If I was her and I made something that advanced I would want me to figure out the technology behind it."
Bra stared blankly then laughed at the irony of Bulma's statement. "Why do you suggest that the inventor was a women?"
"Just a hunch. No man could come up with such an ingenious idea." Bulma proceeded to laugh at her own statement.
Bra stole a glance from Vegeta and decided it was time to get everyone over to the landing site.
"Guys, at this point in time Goku will arrive in 1hour and 45 minutes. I suggest we make our way over to the landing site. Okay?" Bra looked at everyone before floating up into the air. "Just follow me, I'll take you there." She slowly flew off, hoping that they trusted her enough to follow.
%%%%%%
The Z-fighters all stared at each other, trying to decide what to do.
"I don't trust her," proclaimed Yamacha, he balled his hands into fists.
"Oh shut up Yamacha, you don't trust anyone!" shouted Bulma as she bonked him in the back of the head. "Personally, I like her a lot. She's smart, funny, pretty and strong-willed. Just like me!"
"Oh great, that's all we need woman. Another person like you! I don't think I'd be able to restrain myself from blowing this planet up," snorted Vegeta. "But, I'd say as much as I don't trust the girl I think we should follow her as to make sure she doesn't try anything."
"Oh Vegeta," Gohan smiled. "I agree with you 100%! Besides, she knows my dad, and she seems awfully nice!"
Piccolo looked down at his young apprentice and smiled. "Gohan, she said that she's never actually met him. But it doesn't matter. I say we go and wait with her and hope she doesn't have any evil intentions. Krillin? Tien? Choatzu? What do you think?"
Tien just shrugged. Choatzu smiled, "She doesn't seem to have any ill plans, after all, she saved us from Frieza!"
Krillin put on one of his goofy smiles and laughed. "Then what are we doing around here, let's catch up before she gets away!"
%%%%%%
At last, everyone was at Goku's proposed landing site. Bra smiled and noticed that her throat was slightly parched. Digging into her pant pocket, she pulled out a small case with 3 capsules in it. After choosing the one on the left, she closed the case and put it back in her pocket. Bra quickly opened the capsules and threw it 10 feet away. All the Z-fighters watched her with suspicious eyes except Gohan who was too busy trying to get the attention of Piccolo.
[KAAPOW!!!!!!]
Bra walked up to the newly appeared mini fridge and slowly opened the door. She felt a cool blast on her face as she crouched down in front of it. Everyone bent their heads to see what was on the object but soon relaxed when
Bra pulled out a cold can of Pepsi and quickly opened it and took a deep swig. She turned around and giggled when she saw that everyone was slowly heading towards her and the fridge.
"Oh did I forget my manners? Would any of you guys like a cold beverage? It's awfully dry in the desert," she asked with a smile.
"Sure!" smiled Bulma, "What kind do you have?" She, Gohan and Krillin all leaned in closer to see the selection.
"Well, I have orange, Barq's, Dr.Pepper, Dew, Pepsi and of course, Evian bottled spring water!" she said with a huge smile and tossed the water to Piccolo. He easily caught it and hesitantly opened it. The rest of the Z- fighters (minus Vegeta) rushed to the fridge and pulled out a soda. Bra noticed this and smiled. Slowly, she grabbed a bottle from the back of the fridge and walked over to the Saiyan Prince.
"Veggi-chan," she said with a cute smile. "Would you like a beer?"
He turned and glared, trying to intimidate her. He could do so to almost anyone, even those who surpassed him in strength. 'If only I could see her eyes. I can't stand not knowing what an opponent is feeling.' He quickly swiped for her glasses, but she ducked under his swing and popped off the top of the bottle.
"Hmmm??" she smiled again and pushed the bottle into his hand. Vegeta grunted loudly but took a swig of the Molson. (AN: Mmmmmmmmm. Molson's.) Bra walked over to the fridge and recapsulized it. She sat down on a nearby rock and pulled out the capsules and opened the one on the far right. A small storage container appeared and she pulled a mini-disc player out of it. She slide the earphones on and turned it on.
(AN: song!!!! I was bored so I listened to this song about ten times before I got all the words. I kinda lost the CD cover so I had to listen. I'm sorry if some of the words aren't correct)
**I'm not afraid of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
that I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find a decent melody
A song that I can sing in my own company
I never thought you were a fool
But darling, look at you
You gotta stand up straight, carry
your own weight
These tears are going nowhere, baby
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and
now you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
you're stuck in a moment
And you can't get out of it
I will not forsake, the colors that you bring
But the nights you filled with fireworks
They left you with nothing
I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me
I listen through your ears, and through
your eyes I can see
And you are such a fool
To worry like you do
I know it's tough, and you can never
get enough
Of what you don't really need now
... my oh my
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it
Oh love look at you now
You've got yourself stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it
I was unconscious, half asleep
The water is warm till you discover
how deep
I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall
It's a long way down to nothing at all
You've got to get yourself together
You've got stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it
Don't say that later will be better now
You're stuck in a moment and
you can't get out of it
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if our way should falter
Along the stony pass
And if the night runs over
And if the day won't last
And if your way should falter
Along the stony pass
It's just a moment
This time will pass ** ('stuck in a moment' by U2, CD 'all that you can't leave behind')
A small tear rolled down Bra's cheek. She quickly pulled out her earphones and threw the player back into the container. The noise startled all of the Z-fighters, only Vegeta was close enough to notice the glisten of the tear gently rolling down her cheek. ' Why do I feel concern for this girl. I feel as if I must destroy whatever is causing her this pain so she can be happy again. Do I have feelings for her? No this is different. It is as if she is my child that I wish to protect.' Vegeta quickly shook that train of thought from his mind. At once he had forgotten every aspect of it ,except the concern for this girl. He flashed a smirk and walked up to her, placing one hand on her shoulder. Bra flinched slightly but said nothing. All she could think of was her life and how screwed up it was. Vegeta leaned over to see her face and noticed how solemn it was.
"What's wrong brat," he said quietly, "I thought you were excited about Kakarott's return?"
She smirked to herself and whispered back, "Well, you could say I'm eager to meet him. Kakarott." Slowly she swerved around to face Vegeta.
The Saiyan Prince smirked back and extended a hand to help her up. "Would you be interested in sparring?" he asked as he pulled her up.
"Actually, I was wondering how to pass the remaining hour or so and that sounds like a great idea. Do you want to do it here or let's say, on Vegetasei?"
Vegeta's expression went blank then quickly put back on the smirk. "Vegetasei." Both saiyans stood arms length apart and placed their right arm on the other's left shoulder. Bra slid off her sunglasses and tossed them away carefully. She stared deep into his eyes and began to concentrate.
%%%%%%
"What the hell are they doing?" shouted Bulma. She was sitting beside Krillin on the ground against a large boulder. "I mean, how can she stand touching that arrogant bastard!!"
Krillin looked lazily over to the blue haired woman. "Jeez, Bulma! Did you have to interrupt me, I was watching!"
Bulma glared and sighed at the little monk. "I asked what they were doing and you answered with a completely confusing remark. Explain it to me like I'm Goku."
"Oh Kami," Krillin muttered under his breath. " Alright, do you remember when we were going to Namek and everyday Gohan and I would sit together and close are eyes? We were mentally sparring. That's what they are doing now. From the looks of it ,they are using a slightly different method then mine and it seems that it's way more advanced as well. The reason I can see their fight is 1. I know the technique as well and 2. they have a strong mental connection. The stronger the connection, the more intense the fight can get. The location is also clearer. If one of the two have been there, the location intensifies. There are landmarks, smells, texture…you name it. It's almost as good as regular sparring. Except your power level doesn't increase, only your technique."
Krillin looked up at confused Bulma. "Ummmmm…..okay. That sorta makes sense…" Bulma slowly said. She quickly went back to drawing in the dirt and Krillin continued to watch the battle between Bra and Vegeta.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(snippet of Bra & Veggi's fight)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bra dodged Vegeta's ki blast and quickly fired one of her own. She sensed Vegeta behind her and jabbed her elbow back. It connected with his stomach and he doubled over in pain. Bra quickly powered up to Super Saiyan and began knocking her father around for a bit.
"Isn't this fun?" she smirked at the prince who was lying on the ground, beaten and bruised.
"I'll get you little girl," he said weakly and moved back into a fighting stance. His aura flickered and he began to power up. Slowly, a golden aura engulfed his body; he had transformed. "Oh shit" she muttered. A cloud of dust blew into her face, so Bra rose her arm to shield her face. Vegeta rushed her and pulled her arms behind her back, then began kneeing her repetitively in the stomach.
"Ah shit!" she cursed loudly and twisted her legs and kicked high, landing a square hit to his right cheek. He let go of her in surprise and ran his hand over the area that was hit. Bra rubbed her stomach to ease the pain before powering up a bit more and reaffirmed her superiority by knocking Vegeta on his ass. Suddenly, she heard a beeping noise and realized it was her watch.
"That was a good match Veggi-chan, I didn't know you could go Super Saiyan yet." She and her father powered down and Vegeta stood up.
"For your information," he growled "that was the first time. I'll probably have to train for at least a year before I reach that level."
"That's too bad. It seems Kakarott will be landing in a few minutes, do you wish to continue?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, no. you said you needed to speak with the baka. At least you don't refer to him as 'Goku' along with the pathetic humans." He smirked at her and she returned it.
%%%%%%
She closed her eyes to Vegetasei and the slide her sunglasses back on. She reopened her eyes and was staring at the Saiyan Prince. She let go of him and went over to her container and recapsulized it. She glanced back at Vegeta who had already crossed his arms and was leaning against a rock.
'Oh papa,' she whispered silently, ' you are always so arrogant and hard whenever you are around people but whenever you are around mom and I, you are open and caring, even when you don't know who I am. Strange.'
She skipped happily over to Bulma and Krillin, who were still sitting in front of the big rock. As she approached, she noticed that the little monk had a huge smirk on his face. She had a questioning expression and Krillin slowly rose to meet her.
"I watched your fight," Krillin said slyly, "you kicked Vegeta's ass."
Bra blinked, "How were you able to watch it?"
"I know the technique myself," Goku's best friend replied. "I wasn't able to feel power levels or stuff like that but I watched you two move. What I wouldn't pay to have had it on video camera, you knocked Vegeta on his ass!" Krillin stiffled a laugh and Bulma's eyes widened as she entered the conversation.
"You knocked Vegeta on his ass?!" she whispered in disbelief, "You go girl!"
Bra smiled, "Don't mention any of this to the Prince, he'll get angry if he knew anyone knew he got knocked on his ass."
"The Prince?" Bulma raised an eyebrow. "You saiyans and your honour."
"Look everyone!!!!!" Gohan shouted loudly. "Is that my dad!!!!" He was frantically pointing a small dot in the sky.
Everyone looked up and followed it with there eyes until it landed a hundred yards away. They all rushed over to the crash site and stopped at the edge of a large crater with a small white pod at the core. Slowly, the door slide open and out walked Goku.
"Hey Goku!!!" "Hi dad!!!" Krillin, Bulma and Gohan shouted loudly.
The large saiyan looked up in surprise and smiled "Umm…hey guys!!!!"
Well, that's the end of chappy 2. I would have added more but I figured I've made you guys wait too long already. I'm almost done chptr. 3 but I 'd like to know one thing, do you think I should do a history of bra type thing? If yes e-mail me at kaho_lol@hotmail.com. If I get enough requests, I'll do it. If not, oh well. Suppi likes reading my stories. I guess she'll be the only one to know what happened to her in her timeline. So, anyways……I have exams in 5 days! Ahh! As always, review please, even if you have already. I'd like to know your opinions. Flames are welcome. If you comments are long just e-mail them to me. I don't care.
Luv Kaho
Title of Chapter 3: The Andriod Threat; welcome home Bra!

Bra's smirk grew. "I am Spartacus."
Bulma blinked then started laughing again. "Spartacus, good choice. Mmmph, Veggie-chan! Ha, ha, ha!"
Vegeta was even angrier now. He let go of Bra's arm and glared at Bulma. "Woman! How dare you ridicule me like that! I am the Prince of all Saiyans! The mightiest race in the galaxy!"
"Some kingdom, Vegeta!" Bulma retorted. "The only saiyans left are you, Goku, Gohan and that girl over there. Oh, the mighty Prince Vegeta."
"Shut up you ugly bitch!"

Bra smiled and answered thoughtfully. "Well, I've been monitoring his spacecraft and have extrapolated a probable trajectory and landing site. Unless he dramatically changes course, my calculations should be fairly accurate. I've accounted for friction during re-entry, atmospheric conditions, the gravitational force of the spinning Earth, the absence of the moon…."
"That's enough information, thank you!" Krillin interrupted.
Bulma stepped away from a growling Vegeta and walked over to Bra. Vegeta glared at Bra before turning his back.
"How were you able to monitor his progress? You didn't you use Capsule Corps. Model 12 tracker did you?" Bulma asked eagerly.
Bra smiled and shifted her stance. "No actually, but something similar. It's the Model 19. It can track spaceships within close proximity (usually 2 light years), locate ki signatures, interface with any computer, connect with any satellites and serve as a communicator. Basically, everything an advanced scouter could do except it's way more advanced, faster and half the size."
"How? Model 12 is our most advanced model. Where did you get it? It is soooo cool. Can I see it?" Bulma asked with puppy eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'd like to answer all your questions but the inventor of this little gizmo strictly informed me never to let anyone fool around with it. Especially a genius like you Ms.Briefs."
Bulma looked disappointment. "I guess that's reasonable. If I was her and I made something that advanced I would want me to figure out the technology behind it."
Bra stared blankly then laughed at the irony of Bulma's statement. "Why do you suggest that the inventor was a women?"
"Just a hunch. No man could come up with such an ingenious idea." Bulma proceeded to laugh at her own statement.
Bra stole a glance from Vegeta and decided it was time to get everyone over to the landing site.

Bra rubbed her stomach to ease the pain before powering up a bit more and reaffirmed her superiority by knocking Vegeta on his ass. Suddenly, she heard a beeping noise and realized it was her watch.
"That was a good match Veggi-chan, I didn't know you could go Super Saiyan yet." She and her father powered down and Vegeta stood up.
"For your information," he growled "that was the first time. I'll probably have to train for at least a year before I reach that level."
"That's too bad. It seems Kakarott will be landing in a few minutes, do you wish to continue?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, no. you said you needed to speak with the baka. At least you don't refer to him as 'Goku' along with the pathetic humans." He smirked at her and she returned it.
%%%%%%
She closed her eyes to Vegetasei and the slide her sunglasses back on. She reopened her eyes and was staring at the Saiyan Prince. She let go of him and went over to her container and recapsulized it. She glanced back at Vegeta who had already crossed his arms and was leaning against a rock.
'Oh papa,' she whispered silently, ' you are always so arrogant and hard whenever you are around people but whenever you are around mom and I, you are open and caring, even when you don't know who I am. Strange.'
She skipped happily over to Bulma and Krillin, who were still sitting in front of the big rock. As she approached, she noticed that the little monk had a huge smirk on his face. She had a questioning expression and Krillin slowly rose to meet her.
"I watched your fight," Krillin said slyly, "you kicked Vegeta's ass."
Bra blinked, "How were you able to watch it?"
"I know the technique myself," Goku's best friend replied. "I wasn't able to feel power levels or stuff like that but I watched you two move. What I wouldn't pay to have had it on video camera, you knocked Vegeta on his ass!" Krillin stiffled a laugh and Bulma's eyes widened as she entered the conversation.
"You knocked Vegeta on his ass?!" she whispered in disbelief, "You go girl!"
Bra smiled, "Don't mention any of this to the Prince, he'll get angry if he knew anyone knew he got knocked on his ass."
"The Prince?" Bulma raised an eyebrow. "You saiyans and your honour."
"Look everyone!!!!!" Gohan shouted loudly. "Is that my dad!!!!" He was frantically pointing a small dot in the sky.
Everyone looked up and followed it with there eyes until it landed a hundred yards away. They all rushed over to the crash site and stopped at the edge of a large crater with a small white pod at the core. Slowly, the door slide open and out walked Goku.
"Hey Goku!!!" "Hi dad!!!" Krillin, Bulma and Gohan shouted loudly.
The large saiyan looked up in surprise and smiled "Umm…hey guys!!!!"
Well, that's the end of chappy 2. I would have added more but I figured I've made you guys wait too long already. I'm almost done chptr. 3 but I 'd like to know one thing, do you think I should do a history of bra type thing? If yes e-mail me at kaho_lol@hotmail.com. If I get enough requests, I'll do it. If not, oh well. Suppi likes reading my stories. I guess she'll be the only one to know what happened to her in her timeline. So, anyways……I have exams in 5 days! Ahh! As always, review please, even if you have already. I'd like to know your opinions. Flames are welcome. If you comments are long just e-mail them to me. I don't care.
Luv Kaho
