Chapter 18

Cheena and Gigi's ships finally made it into Earth's atmosphere. Gigi radioed Cheena.

"It only a few more minutes. We're almost home!"

"WOO-HOO! YEAH! ALRIGHT!"

Gigi smiled at Cheena's remarks and continued flying her ship. Little did they know that someone was stalking them.

~~~~~~~~~~

"I won't let you leave if I have any say. You are not going back to Earth."

Raditz fired at Cheena and Gigi's spaceships to stop them so they would be forced back to Vegeta.

However, Raditz eyes widened in fear as he stared at their ships. They both started flying towards Earth... in flames.

The ships kept falling, and falling, and falling, until they finally landed in the ocean of a beach. The force of the impact caused the ship to explode, sending Gigi and Cheena's unconscious bodies into the deep water. They both slowly sank and sank into the depths of the sea.

~~~~~~~~~~

Raditz started smashing his head against a wall of his ship. "STUPID BAKA, STUPID BAKA! DAMN YOU RADITZ, NOW THEY ARE DEAD! GOOD GOING! I HATE YOU RADITZ!"

(Major OOCness... anyways)

~~~~~~~~~~

On the sands of the beach...

~~~~~~~~~~

Trunks and Goten were both having a flashback of when they were 13.

~Begin Flashback~

(Trunks and Goten are staring into a starry sky)

T: "Goten?"

G: "Yeah?"

T: "Do you think Cheena and Gigi will come back? I'm starting to get nervous, they've been gone for years. I think they might have died."

G: "As much as I don't want to believe it, I think you might be right. But I still think that they'll come back. I just hope it's soon. I miss them."

T: "Me too Goten."

~~~~~~~~~~

Goten snapped awake from his sunbathing along with Trunks.

"Trunks, did you hear that explosion?"

"I sure did, let's go see what it is?"

With that, Goten and Trunks, flew over to where the water was the choppiest and waviest. They saw several broken pieces of metal, and glass.

Trunks exclaimed. "I think these are parts of a spaceship, maybe even two. There are so many pieces here?"

Goten stared at the water. A patch of the water that was stained with blood startled him and there were a few bubbles in the same area.

"TRUNKS! THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE SHIP! THEY MIGHT STILL BE ALIVE! HURRY!!"

Goten and Trunks both dove down and followed the trails of blood and bubbles. Only to be greeted with two helpless bodies sinking deeper in the water.

Goten managed to grab one of the people, and wrapped his arm around that one, and swam to the surface with the body in his arms.

Goten gasped for air as soon as his head broke the surface of the water. "Trunks, where are you?"

Trunks yelled back to him. "Goten, there were people in there. I managed to get one. Was there anyone else?"

"Yes, there was. We'd better get back to shore."

~~~~~~~~~

Both of the boys finally reached shore and took the time to examine the people. They were both girls, and one had a white tail. The one with a tail had long, unruly brown hair. The other one was immediately recognizable by Trunks. He ran his hand through her ponytail and wiped some blood of her forehead.

"Goten, it's Cheena!"

"What? No, it can't be."

"And that's Gigi!"

"Wait, its not possible Trunks, they'd be much older, but they are exactly the same age as they were before!"

"And take a look at this Goten, they have capsules with them!"

Goten started hugging Gigi's body not knowing if it was true or not, he whispered hoarsely to Trunks. "Are they alive?"

Trunks put his ear close to Cheena's lips as Goten placed his hand on Gigi's chest.

Trunks smiled, "Yes! They are still with us."

Goten angrily yelled. "Trunks, it's not them."

~~~~~~~~~~

"We have to help them Goten!"

"I know. Do you have a first aid kit with you?"

"Goten, what king of person brings a first aid kit on a trip to the beach?"

Gigi's eyes slowly opened. "Goten? Is that you?"

Goten stares at her. "It is."

Gigi weakly replied. "Boy, you certainly changed. Do you remember me?"

Goten stared her down. "No, I don't know you."

Tears started welling in Gigi's eyes. "Goten, it's me, Gigi."

"It isn't, if it were you, you would be a lot older and you haven't aged a bit."

Her tears did not exit her eyes yet. She painfully struggled against a gash in her arm, and grabbed two capsules from her bag nearby. As she handed them to Goten, he coldly replied.

"I don't believe you."

Gigi painfully stared into Goten's face. She couldn't believe that he thought it wasn't her. However, she thought and felt nothing as a great force blacked out her world yet again.

~~~~~~~~~~

Goten stared in disbelief as a man kicked the girl he was holding in the chest. Blood exited her mouth and tears left her eyes before her eyes were finally shut. He had just then opened the capsules, and in them were...

A rose and a picture of two girls holding a young Trunks and Goten in their laps.

Goten's anger grew within himself as he picked Gigi up into his arms and stared the guy down.

Trunks was still caring for Cheena next to Goten. Cheena awoke and painfully held her bleeding side.

"Trunks, Goten, it's Raditz..."

Cheena could not hold herself up and she wrapped her arms around Trunks' neck. Blushing, Trunks looked into her face.

"Trunks, do you believe it's me?"

"Yes. I knew from the beginning." He warmly smiled as he continued to hold her. He ripped a piece of cloth from his sleeve and used it as a band-aid for Cheena. However, that smile faded as he saw Raditz there. Before going with Goten, he laid Cheena gently down on a towel.

Trunks walked over to Goten and glanced at Gigi. Her clothing was ripped and bloodstained. Lots of blood was exiting her mouth and her forehead. He then looked at Goten, and he had tears in his eyes.

"It is her... and the last thing she might ever hear me say to her was 'I didn't believe you.'" He gently lay her cold body on the sand.

Raditz smiled at them. "Gigi, you little wench, you deserve that for deserting me on Planet Vegeta. Hey, I remember you two. You were the boys they took care of. My goodness you've grown. Now, hand them over to me so they can come back to me."

Goten angrily went by Gigi's body again. "I can't believe you. She was already down. Forget it. Even if I did want her to go, life with you would be a living hell. Get away from them!"

Trunks yelled back to him. "We've been waiting so long for them to come back, and after ten years of waiting, you expect us to give them up?"

Raditz grew angry and impatient with them. "Give them back right now."

Cheena spoke to Trunks. "Trunks, he's the reason we're almost dead. He shot me and Gigi down so we would be forced to go back to Vegeta. But we don't want to go back. We want to stay on Earth. With you."

Trunks and Goten now grew even angrier. Both of their hair transformed into a golden hue. An aura of orange red surrounded them, engulfed in anger. They were both Super Saiyans.

Goten spoke out. "For what you did to them, and the Earth before us, we will never forgive you Raditz!"

Raditz's eyes enlarged in shock and fear. Never in his life was he able to become a Super Saiyan. He hastily made a dash to his ship.

Both Trunks and Goten grabbed the weapons Cheena gave them, and did not give Raditz a chance to fight back as they brutalized him.

Trunks held his sword to Raditz's neck.

"Go back to Vegeta now, or your life ends on Earth."

Raditz unwillingly went into his ship and sailed off into the sky. Trunks and Goten ran back to Cheena and Gigi. Trunks smiled as he embraced Cheena in his arms, and she returned the favor.

Goten called out to Trunks holding Gigi.

"I don't think either of them has much time left. We'd better get them to your house."

Trunks nodded and they dashed off to Capsule Corp.
